Hi Cathy,

Attached are details of a problem that our QA believes is caused by the new drop of JRE (jre-6u2-windows-i586-p.exe). Could you please let me know if this is a known issue. As this is reproducible, my plan would be to roll back to the older version if there is no quick fix for this.

Nick

Aug03'07(Elena Ivannikova): It's block 17029 Java Runtime Environment issue. I was able to repro on Summer build after installing this block.

Aug03'07(Eric Li): Elena, I can reproduce this issue on 81GBv3PrAZ build, the problem will disappear if I disable the "Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U2" on MS Config Startup.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Aug02'07(Elena Ivannikova): Eric, pls check what apps running under <Task Scheduler><Taks Scheduler Library> in the Control Panel, Administrative Tools. Remove by one from MS Config Startup. It seems some bundled apps problem.
